Transfusion transmitted infections (TTI) are a great concern of safety for patients. Blood transfusion is a lifesaving procedure but always caries a potential risk of infections.The present study was designed to evaluate the prevalence of infectious disease markers and frequency in males and females of various age groups among healthy blood donors. A retrospective review of donor record over a period of 2 years between 2015 to2016 was done at the department of transfusion medicine Khulna medical college Hospital, Khulna, Bangladesh.Among the total 37,266 donors,358(0.96%) donors were infected and therefore not suitable for blood donations.HBV was found to be the most frequent infection with a total frequency of 0.72% followed by TP (0.20%), HCV (0.03%) and HIV (0.01%). None of the blood samples showed positivity for malarial parasite.Majority of the seropositive donors, (47.96%) were in the age group of 26 to 35 years followed by 29.47% in 18 to 25 years’ age group.

Background: Tendo Achilles injuries are usually related to poor ankle flexibility and strength and to overuse. Morphology of tendo Achilles is an important tool for its assessment which can be done by measuring tendon thickness, cross-sectional area and length of tendon. Objective: The aim of the study was to correlate length of tendo Achilles with stature in several age groups of sedentary people as measured by ultrasonography. Materials and method: This cross sectional analytical type of study was conducted in the department of Anatomy, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, Bangladesh from July 2013 to June 2014. The present study was performed on 200 tendo Achilles of 100 people (50 male and 50 female) randomly selected from the patients who came to the Radiology department of Dhaka Medical College Hospital for ultrasonography of any region of their body other than leg. Results: In this study length of tendo Achilles was measured in both legs of adult people and was correlated with stature. Highly significant correlation was found between length of tendo Achilles with stature (p<0.001). Conclusion: The data of length of tendo Achilles obtained from the present study may provide valuable information in different aspects of medical science as a guide line for physiotherapists, radiologists, sports professionals and ortho-surgeons in early detection and monitoring of rehabilitation especially of professional athletes.

AbstractLimited information is available regarding the functioning of DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment Short course) center for tuberculosis treatment under public private partnership with a medical college hospital. The present study was done to assess the various parameters related to the effectiveness of follow up treatment and its outcome in a DOTS center attached to a medical college hospital in coastal South India.Reports of patients with tuberculosis diagnosed and treated under Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme at KS Hegde Medical College hospital DOTS center under Mangalore TB unit were reviewed retrospectively for the period from July 2004 to June 2011. Data was described in proportion and chi square test was applied to assess the association of cases with age group and sex. Among 60 patients serially registered under DOTS, 41 (68.33 %) cases were females and 19 (31.67%) cases were males. Maximum number of cases belonged to 15-29 years age group (20, 33.3%) and the difference observed between the categories of TB and age group was found to be significant (P<0.001). Overall 23 (38.33%), 12 (20%) and 25 (41.67%) cases received Cat-I, Cat-II and Cat-III treatment respectively. Success rate for new smear positive cases was 92.85% (13/14) and for Re-treatment smear positive cases was 88.89% (8/9). Sputum conversion rate among new smear positive cases (n= 14) at 2 months and 3 months was 85.71% and 92.86% respectively. Sputum conversion rate for Re-treatment cases (n=9) at 2 months and 3 months was 55.56% and 88.89% respectively. RNTCP is running successfully in this DOTS center with very low treatment failure rate and better outcome indicators, highlighting the importance of public private partnership of poorly functioning DOTS centers with medical colleges.

Background: Intestinal obstruction is a common surgical problem that surgeons face in clinical practice. Still intestinal obstruction is a major problem in medical college hospitals in Bangladesh. Causes of intestinal obstruction remain same as earlier. There is lack of statistical data in our country. So, this study will be helpful in various aspect of management of intestinal obstruction patients by providing data. Objective: To find out similarities between preoperative diagnosis with actual peroperative findings of intestinal obstruction. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted from April 2013 to April 2014 at Enam Medical College Hospital and Dhaka Medical College Hospital. Two hundred patients were selected by purposive sampling of diagnosed cases of intestinal obstruction. Results: Among the subjects male were 124 (62%) and female were 76 (38%). Mean age was 34.56 ± 9.13 years. The maximum respondents were from 21–30 years age group (54%) followed by 31–40 years (18%) age group. Chronic intestinal obstruction was present in 53% cases and acute intestinal obstruction in 47% cases. The clinical profile showed that all patients had abdominal pain followed by vomiting (78%). The preoperative diagnosis of intestinal obstruction was neoplastic obstruction (24%) followed by obstructed hernia (22.5%). The highest similarities (100%) were observed in case of volvulus and ileosigmoid knotting. Obstructed hernia had the highest accuracy (97.7%) followed by neoplastic obstruction (91.66%). Maximum patients (13.5%) suffered from wound infection followed by burst abdomen (3%). Conclusion: The preoperative diagnoses are very much similar to peroperative findings. The clinical parameters and other mandatory diagnostic tools commonly used in tertiary level hospitals in our country showed diagnostic accuracy in diagnosis of intestinal obstruction.

Introduction : when a healthy pregnant woman with no obstetric or medical risk factors goes into spontaneous labour, she should anticipate a normal delivery. But still 580, 000 women in the world die from pregnancy and childbirth each year.1 Lack of attention to postpartum care in developing countries is neglected tragedy and requires immediate attention. This study evaluates the incidence of complications of early puerperium and also focuses the specific types of complications and to detect the risk factors associated with these complications. Aims and objectives : Main aim of the study is to evaluate the common complications in early puerperium with special attention to identify the risk factors. Materials and method : This study was carried out in Dhaka Medical College Hospital and Sir Sallimullah Medical College Hospital within the period of March ’2004 to August’ 2004. Two hundred patients were selected for this study who were delivered by caesarean section in these two institutions and complications occurring within 7 days excluding first 24 hours. Patients delivered outside the hospital and with known medical diseases were excluded from this study. Detailed history taking and appropriate clinical examination and specific investigations were done for diagnosis of complications. All relevant informations was noted in prescribed data sheet and results were tabulated and statistical analysis was done. Results : Among 200 cases only 44(22%) cases had early puerperal morbidity.Most of the patients who suffered complications underwent caesarean section for obstructed labour and fetal distress who had trial at home. Many of the patients suffered from wound infection and endometritis (40.9%). Among patients, age group -<20 years suffered from wound infection(53.8%) and endometritis(45.8%) were common in age group 21-30 years. VVF was common in patients in age <20 years.Endometritis (42.2%) was maximum in women with parity 1-3 and wound infection (50%) in women with parity 4-6. Some of the patients had more than one early puerperal morbidity. Maximum number of poor class suffered from wound infection (42.4%).Early puerperal morbidity was more prevalent in women with duration of labour <18 hours and Premature rupture of membrane had relationship with endometritis (15.9%), wound infection (13.6%) and UTI (11.4%). Conclusion : Incidence of early puerperal morbidities is still quite high (22%) and many patients experiences more than one problem at a time.Long term sequelae of early puerperal infectious morbidity should not be neglected as this may interfere quality of life of a woman.
